This has fixed it for me!!  I compiled todays cvs, with out this patch, 
to watch it fail, then added the line as noted, and reloaded the modules 
without rebooting, and it worked.  I did a cold start to see that it is 
repeatable, and it continues to work.  I used no extra parameters, so 
the defaults are working fine.
